Dr. Gonzo

If I'm not mistaken Trigon is a DC comics character? I recognise the avatar from a cartoon my kids watch Teen Titans Go! Funny show 🤣

Thanks for the link WCW that was great. I like my metal but the farthest I go is Cradle of Filth and even then really only Cruelty & the Beast and Midian (love those albums). I prefer my metal with a bit more of a "groove" (if you can call it that) than thrash but if it's good I'll listen to it. Great music to listen to at the gym though 🤣

Too weird to live, too rare to die 😉

I assumed it was a biblical place or mythological name, like Golgotha

No unfortunately, it's solely an homage to gonzo journalist Hunter S Thompson - Dr Gonzo is the alter ego of his sidekick/attorney Oscar Zeta Acosta in Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas.

I agree, if the AFL/govt are looking at connecting the MCG with Richmond station in some way we should be looking at incorporating our facilities into that somehow. Build above Brunton Ave and the rail lines.

Loving this Jets team at the moment. Gardner, Williams x2, AVT, Hall, Davis, Berrios, G Wilson - just a really fun team to watch at the moment. I love the brutality on defence, it's always a hallmark of a good Jets team (eg NY Sack Exchange). Still not sold on Zach Wilson, a few times on Sunday he just held on to the ball way too long and that almost turnover in the end zone just before half time was mind boggling. He improved after half time but still only 10/18 and 110 yards with one chunk play to Corey Davis for the game. If he can make it we might have a chance to do something in the coming years.

Chiefs, Packers, Bucs

All of the above.

In the US the rings are bought by the billionaire owners - who paid for these?

Well he's no Saint!

Is it a reference to The Rock?

49ers, Vikings, Bucs

Remind me, we have to select three away teams yeah? Haven't played in a couple of years

Another win for the Jets albeit against a 3rd string QB. Despite that I'm loving the look of some of our you get guys, Hall, Gardner, G Wilson, AVT have looked very good so far. I'm expecting a tougher game this week against Aaron Rodgers but we then have Denver who look like an absolute dumpster fire. That Russell Wilson contract situation 😮

Exactly

Why? The purpose of the sub was so club's weren't disadvantaged if a player was concussed. Then they just changed it to if a player was injured. Now it will just be an additional interchange so we're back to where we started but with a 5 man interchange. Next they'll need a sub for concussed/injured players so will be a 5 man interchange + 1 sub. And on and on it goes. It's ridiculous, they should be limiting the interchange not expanding it.

What's the point of this? May as well have just hung on to Weid, Schache is basically the same player but with less physicality. I don't get it. I don't see him getting much time in the seniors at all.

I'll never boo a premiership player

That's true although there is clearly one gaping hole that usually takes plenty of dollars to fill.

Not really when you're already paying another elite ruck north of that amount. $1.5m+ out of a $13m salary cap (11.5%) to two ruckman who can't really play elsewhere is lopsided list management.

That is the key question.

Does it matter? Ruck is the most over rated position on the ground. Dogs have gone with Bont in the ruck, Tigers have gone with Rioli at times. I'm sure we'll find some lug to bash and crash in the rookie/mid season draft if it comes to it, otherwise with our midfield it shouldn't matter anyway.

Collingwood will be using this bluster about a top 25 pick as a way to negotiate down their part of the salary. I sincerely hope we tell them to stuff it and will be [censored] if we end up paying more than we would have liked for the next 5 years.
